"Okay ready Peter?" James said digging through a box of Bertie Bots.

"Ready!" Peter replied as he opened his mouth wide, tilting his head back slightly.

James retrieved an brownish- orange speckled bean from the box with a smirk spread across his face.

Greta knew exactly what flavour it was and felt bad that poor Peter would soon have the most horrid taste in his mouth.

James tossed the bean and it landed directly in the middle of Peters mouth. Peters head shot up from its tilted position and his face turned bright red as he started choking.

Sirius and James looked at Peter wide eyed then across the compartment at Remus and Greta who had the same worried faces.

"Uh..." Remus said as he turned to Peter and began to smack him on the back stiffly.

Suddenly the bean flew out of Peters mouth landing next to James.

The four cheered as Peter pumped his fist weakly as he tried to catch his breath.

"You should be a healer Moony. That was brilliant!" Sirius said.

Remus laughed as Greta replied "Definitety. Spend your days smacking your patients back to health."

"Ok James I think I'm ready for another!" Peter said opening his mouth again.

"NO" the other four said in unison.

The rest of the train ride was quieter and less life threatening which was probably for the best. Greta and Remus chatted about the books they read over the summer despite them reading the same books as the other and owling constantly.

Peter ended up falling asleep about 20 minutes after he nearly choked to death. James and Sirius took this as a chance to see how many different candies would stick to Peters face. So far the lemon drops and Bertie Bots were the most stickable.

When they arrived at Hogsmead station they easily found a carriage and were on their way to the school.

Greta took in every last detail of the castle and scenery of the gorgeous September night. Despite this being her sixth year at Hogwarts, she was still taken aback by the beauty of the school.

While she took in that beauty, a certain someone sitting across from her was taking in her own beauty. Remus was unable to take his eyes off of her, taking in every small detail. The nearly black curls that framed her face perfectly, the faint freckles that only appeared on her nose, her dark blue eyes which have little specs of green in them which can only be seen in the sunlight. His eyes travelled down to her hands which were rested on her lap holding her wand loosely. He noticed her nails were painted bright crimson and gold to show house pride on their first day back. Remus cracked a slight smile at how in character that was for Greta.

When they arrived at the castle Remus was still in a world of his own, not realizing they had stopped.

"Remus?"

He blinked, snapping back to reality and looked up to meet eyes with the source of the voice and noticing a hand on his shoulder.

"You were kind of out of it for a second. Ready to go?" Greta asked with a smile.

"Yeah, sorry." Remus replied breaking eye contact, slightly embarrassed.
